SE should consider providing its own VPN network to solve the lag problem

[Alhanelem]

Basically all of my FC member living in NA were hit by the post 2.1 lag issue which rendered most endgame content unplayable, and all of the lag problems were solved by the WTFast service.

If SE is having budgetary concerns on opening more datacenters, perhaps they should consider providing their own WTFast-like VPN network which would increase their service quality while having their costs 'under control'.

Weird, not one of my FC members living in NA were hit by any "post 2.1 lag issue". I hadn't heard about any *new* lag issues since 2.1. The only lag issues I had were between the novemeber hotfix patch and patch 2.1 where I would get random lag spikes. But for me at least, that stopped after 2.1.

As far as I'm concerned, network issues have decreased post 2.1, not increased.

quitted isn't a word. You quit this to play that, not quitted this to play that. Also, aoe in rift is not nearly as difficult to dodge with or without lag. It's less of an issue because the difficulty is lower, not because the network is better.
